Painting a rubber tire
I have a large (5 ft. diameter) tractor tire that I will be turning into my son's sandbox. What type of paint should I use to protect it from the elements. Should I prime it first. I have some Zinsser oil based primmer spray paint, will this work. Then top coat with any exterior paint. Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
Also any suggestions on what to use to cover the tire (as in a lid) would be greatly appreciated.

This tire was my sandbox as a kid (20 years ago. My grandfather bought it at a junk yard and painted it. He was a painter so it held up for 20 years. I just wanted to make it look new before I put it in the yard for my son.
By the way my grandfather has passed so I can't ask him what type of paint he used.
